Before we get to the juicy details of whether or not Carlton actually cast a spell on Joyce, let’s run through the terrifically boring beginning of this week's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode. Lisa and Kyle meet to plan Ken and Maurico’s joint birthday party. Kyle is adamant that they throw a much more elegant party than Carlton just had — no naked women painted in gold!
Brandi’s new book is about to come out, so the episode features a cover shoot, which, of course, is just her in a bright pink dress looking Brandi fabulous. Her awesomely assertive book editor is there directing the shoot — thank the lords above.
Joyce invites Carlton to lunch and — SURPRISE — Carlton says she didn’t cast a spell on Joyce or her family. Or did she? All we heard Carlton say was that she used to practice black magic, she’s back on the white magic, and Joyce better not bring up children and magic again. "Don’t you f**king dare," were Carlton’s words. As if Joyce would ever dare! They agree to start all over — for the 14th time in 14 episodes — and Carlton says she thinks Joyce is actually a nice girl... as opposed to Kyle, who is horrendous.
Yolanda and Kim get ready for their daughters to leave for college. Yolanda convinces Gigi to pack her winter coats because she won’t need them, and Kim convinces her daughter to get a butterfly tattoo, because that’s what Kim wants to be when she dies.
It’s time for the black tie party at Lisa’s. For a split second there was a tinge of jealousy as we saw the sweeping surroundings of Lisa’s beautiful home but than, in walks Brandi and Scheana and we are instantly reminded of the price you pay to have everything you could ever dream of.
The party seems to be going well, no fights until dinnertime. Carlton is getting irritated with Kyle (you can see it on her face), and unless Kyle is playing a really good game, she has no idea. Carlton finally loses it when Kyle brings up her and Lisa’s inside joke about the nipple, which started the whole Carlton-doesn’t-like-Kyle deal in the first place.
Kyle thought everything was over between them, especially after she gave Carlton her necklace on the last episode, but apparently, Carlton has been soaking that necklace in water to remove Kyle’s negative energy from it. Words explode, Carlton says "Don’t you f**king dare" for the second time in one episode. Even after Kyle moves to the other side of the table, Carlton decides to leave. Lisa tries to follow her out and explain that Kyle isn’t truly evil, but Carlton won’t hear it.
Brandi joins team Kyle for the first time in ages, and honestly, we are leaning towards her side also. Quite frankly, when did Lisa become such an instigator?
PROJECTIONS
Brandi’s book editor doesn’t approve the preview — thousands of copies are printed with Brandi holding a toilet plunger and wearing large wire-rimmed glasses.
Carlton inadvertently casts a spell on herself, causing a loss in orange skin tone and an inability to hold onto black eye makeup. She looks stunning as a real human being.
The group starts to see Lisa as the instigator that she’s becoming.

When Lindsey Vonn had to pull out of the Sochi Winter Olympics with a knee injury, it not only robbed NBC of the chance to show Tiger Woods during its broadcast, but it deprived the network of one of the faces of the Games that it so desperately craves. In addition to being a world class athlete, Vonn is well known and beautiful — a network promotional executive's dream.
While a missing Vonn doesn't help NBC, there are plenty of other athletes representing the United States that the Peacock will try to get the audience to care about. These eight athletes are likely to get the star treatment and get hearts racing for their athletic talent… and more.
Ashley Wanger, Figure Skating — Wagner is sure to get all sorts of attention after she finished fourth at the Olympics Trials and was put on the team anyway. The fact that she has a lot of sponsors hoping to cash in on her looks should she win a medal probably had nothing to do with it.
Julia Mancuso, Alpine Skiing — She's going to slot into the role that Vonn would've played. Not only does she have the looks to pull that off, but she has her own line of underwear called "Kiss My Tiara." At the 2010 Games in Vancouver, Mancuso passed out thongs to fellow competitors.
Zach Parise, Men's Hockey — Studies have shown that women make up a large chunk of Olympic viewers, so it's only right that there's plenty of eye candy on that side of the ledger as well. Parise, normally a winger for the Minnesota Wild, has the sort of rugged good looks that one would expect from a hockey player…and all of his teeth.
Ellery Hollingsworth, Snowboarding — Since it doesn't appear that swimsuit model Clair Bidez nor Instagram hottie Hannah Teter are going to make the team, Hollingsworth should be next in line to carry on the tradition of snowboarders that can make temperatures rise.
Gretchen Bleiler/Elena Hight, Snowboarding — OK, so women's snowboarding is to the Winter Games what beach volleyball is to summer…just with more clothing. Bleiler, who's been around long enough to have some name recognition outside of the X-Games set, and Hight, who's Hawaiian, are the next most likely candidates besides Hollingsworth to gain new followers. Really, there should just be a reality show devoted to the whole group of them.
Bode Miller, Alpine Skiing — Along with snowboarder Shaun White, Miller is probably the best known of the returning athletes. This will be his fifth Olympics and probably his swan song. Since he's aged in much the same way as David Beckham — seemingly getting better looking — NBC will be sure to give him plenty of attention.
Lolo Jones, Bobsledding — There's no guarantee that Jones will actually make the squad, but if she does, there will be an NBC camera assigned to follow the Summer Olympics hurdler and proponent of abstinence at all times.

Chloe Aftel Studio
She's an enthusiastic humanitarian, effective philanthropist, intelligent optimist, courage creator, jewelry designer, life inspirer and so much more. Caitlin Crosby has made caring a fashion statement. Her mission is simple, yet uniquely inspired. Caitlin sits down with us to explain how she plans on creating a better world - one hope-filled key at a time
Can you tell our readers a little about The Giving Keys?
I really believe we are all unique and each person has the power to unlock incredible beauty in the world. I found unique vintage keys to be a powerful symbol of this belief. After engraving my first key with the word LOVE and turning it into a necklace, my friends and people that came to my shows began asking for their own keys. I made more keys with words like HOPE, STRENGTH, DREAM and COURAGE. I realized that these simple keys became incredibly powerful when the wearer of the key would give it away to someone else. Finally, I realized that I wanted to create jobs for LA locals who are affected by homelessness, so at The Giving Keys we employ people who are transitioning out of homelessness to make each vintage piece of jewelry.
What was the inspiration behind giving the keys away to someone in need?
I had this really powerful moment in a church parking lot one day. After a service this woman came up to me and handed me a pair of earrings and said she felt they were for me so she gave them to me, a perfect stranger. It was this crazy moment that really affected me and the way I think about how we handle our possessions. I'll always remember that -- that she so freely gave something valuable away to bless someone else. That's what we want The Giving Keys to be -- not something you hoard and hold onto, but something you keep for as long as you need it, and when the time comes and you meet someone who needs that word more than you, you give it away - you pay it forward.
It’s really impressive how many celebrities have connected with this project: Selena Gomez, Rachel Zoe and Sara Bareilles, to name a few. How did The Giving Keys spread through Hollywood so quickly?
Ever since the beginning I've felt like the keys speak for themselves in this really incredible way. I'm constantly surprised by how such a simple idea -- a key with an inspiring word strung on a chain -- can have such an impact on people. LA is built on image and a lot of other things that don't really matter at the end of the day -- I think people hear The Giving Keys message and it connects in a deeper place. Our friends in Hollywood connect with our jewelry for the same reasons that anyone else around the world does - hope and inspiration are powerful whether you’re living on the streets or in the Hollywood hills. We never outgrow our need for either of those things.
Can you tell us about your partnership with Chrysalis?
We have been working with Chrysalis for the past year. Chrysalis is a well-established non-profit serving LA's homeless population with a tagline of "changing lives through jobs." At The Giving Keys, we couldn't agree more that the long-term solution to homelessness is to empower capable people to overcome their own challenges through employment and education. Chrysalis' clients have proven to be an incredible workforce to create the jewelry that our customers have come to love so much.
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. We see you are partnering with Not For Sale for the month of January.
The modern-day slave trade is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, enslaving more than 30 million individuals today. Not For Sale is doing incredible work with a mission to create a world where no one is for sale and we were thrilled to partner with them to create a custom pendant featuring a unique charm. The charms are the product of artisans in the Amazon, which create an important source for income and empowerment for women in Peru. The process of producing this piece of jewelry is in itself very important, as it has a direct impact on the lives of women fighting against the risk of exploitation. 20% of every pendant purchased goes through Not For Sale to support people vulnerable to human trafficking. We got an awesome story from one of the Not For Sale staff that through their educational and awareness programs in Peru one of the women they worked with kept her daughter from being lured into a trafficking ring and actually was able to bring the trafficker to justice.
Your new precious metals collection is coming out soon. What made you want to do a higher end collection? And are those all recycled keys too?
Our new Precious Metals line will be released just in time for Valentines Day. These keys are cast in the image of an original vintage key and are made of bronze and 14k gold. People were really interested in having a higher end version of a Giving Key so we started exploring options and are really happy with the way these came out. To elevate the product using more valuable materials meant creating our own keys based off some of our favorite key styles. Recycled keys and 14kt plating are not friends we found out. We think these keys are a really delicate and elevated expression of the heart of The Giving Keys. These ones might be a little harder to pay forward (but we believe in you)! They will be available for sale at Henri Bendel, on our website, and in select retail outlets.
You team up with a lot of other ‘pay it forward’ organizations like TOMS, Conscious Commerce etc. Do you think that there is a shift in consumers wanting to buy products from more responsible companies and why?
Americans are incredibly philanthropic, but we think traditional approaches to charity are struggle truly eradicate the social problems plaguing society. It's just not as sustainable to live by donations rather then revenue. By bringing the entrepreneurial spirit into the equation, consumers now have the power to help make the world a better place through their everyday purchases. The more that 'pay it forward' organizations thrive, the more it sends a message to other corporations that customers want their purchases to make the world a better place. We're headed in the right direction!
Anything else you’d like to add?
I just want to encourage everyone to use what's in their hands to create change. I never thought that by engraving a key with the word love that I was starting on a journey to what The Giving Keys has now become. In the past two years I have watched dozens of members of our team blossom with confidence and hope and have received thousands of stories of the keys helping people. Keep your eyes open, there are people in need all around you. To learn more visit The Giving Keys.

Sarah Kuszelewicz/Hollywood.comReality TV star Nicole Polizzi, otherwise known as Snooki from MTV’s Jersey Shore and Snooki &amp; JWoww, just released her fourth tell-all book on January 14. Her three previous books (A Shore Thing, Gorilla Beach, and Confessions of a Guidette) were all bestsellers, and she’s hoping that Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and all the Messy Milestones Along the Way will be just as successful.
This past Wednesday, Snooki had a book signing at Barnes &amp; Noble in New York City, and of course the Hollywood.com Photo Team had to go. She was, indeed, just as tan and tiny as we were expecting. While posing for pictures, she blurted out, “My bra’s showing!” in classic Snooki fashion.Sarah Kuszelewicz/Hollywood.comSnooki was clearly a veteran at handling the press. “Wait, you guys get to be in a picture now,” she said to all the photographers, “I saw Jessica Alba do this and it looked really cool!” Then she excitedly handed over her phone to her publicist, who snagged a picture from behind for Snooki's Instagram. Her answer to what she was wearing: “What am I wearing? An Amazon dress. Like 20 bucks."Sarah Kuszelewicz/Hollywood.comNicole then signed copies of her book for the huge line of fans who were anxiously waiting to meet her. About an hour later she was all done and off to her next event. Sarah Kuszelewicz/Hollywood.comObviously, we bought ourselves a copy of Baby Bumps. Snooki writes about parenting in a completely uncensored and amusing style. She writes about how she transformed from Snooki to Nicole, party girl to mama to be and she doesn’t sugarcoat it one bit.
Sarah Kuszelewicz/Hollywood.com
In no particular order, here are our top five favorite quotes from Baby Bumps. 1. “I’d always dreamed that one day I’d be a MILF with adorable tan babies.”2. “If you love pooping like me, and consider yourself an expert in that area, pushing will be a piece of cake for you. I pushed only about eight times and my baby came out!” 3. “My feet were puffed up like pickled pig trotters. Horrible.” 4. “Thank god I had Jionni’s muscular arms pushing my pregnant ass up the stairs or I would have been stuck in the basement for weeks.” 5. “I had a dream that I squeezed out a baby, but it wasn’t Lorenzo. It was a Chucky doll.” Do yourself a favor and get a copy of Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and all the Messy Milestones Along the Way, in book stores today.

The Pizza Underground/Facebook
This must have been what people felt like when they first heard the toe-tappin' sounds of those long-haired beatniks from Liverpool. The musical movement that will, indubitably, define our generation has taken form. Round, hot, cheesy form: Macaulay Culkin's Velvet Underground tribute band The Pizza Underground — the monument of musical creativity that recalibrates the lyrics of classic numbers by Lou Reed and company to focus on the theme of pizza — has released its first video and announced a cross-country tour:
January 24 - Brooklyn @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar w/ French Horn Rebellion, Rush Midnight, Heavenly Beat &amp; Seasick MamaJanuary 25 - Philadelphia @ PhilaMOCA January 26 - New Brunswick @ OutworldJanuary 31 - Austin @ Breakpoint on The BoardwalkMarch 5 - San Francisco @ Neck of The WoodsMarch 6 - West Hollywood @ Whisky A Go GoMarch 7 - San Diego @ Ux31March 8 - Tijuana @ MoustacheMarch 10 - Tucson @ 191 WarehouseMarch 11 - El Paso @ The Lowbrow PalaceMarch 12 - Dallas @ Club DadaMarch 13, 14, 15 - Austin @ SXSWMarch 17 - New Orleans @ Hi-Ho LoungeMarch 18 - Mobile @ Alabama Music BoxMarch 19 - Atlanta @ Mammal GalleryMarch 20 - Raleigh @ KingsMarch 21 - Washington, DC @ Black CatMarch 22 - Brooklyn @ Baby's All Right w/ Total Slacker
Culkin and his bandmates will kick off their two month- and 18 concert-long tour on Jan. 24 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, gracing states like Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, California, Arizona, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina — not to mention stops in Washington D.C. and Mexico — along the while. Surely it is the dream of any kazoothiast to embark on a Kerouacian journey following these polyunsaturated troubadours from start to finish... but that takes a good deal of planning and budgeting. Endeavors that a small percentage of the Pizza Underground's target demographic is willing to brave. Luckily, we have your backs. We here at Hollywood.com are lovers of Culkin, of Lou Reed, of pizza, and of the lost art of itinerary creation. We've come up with a complete fiscal guidebook for the greatest journey ever to befall humankind: following Pizza Underground across the country.
How to Follow The Pizza Underground Across the Country
We'll begin with universal costs: the tickets. Here are the prices for each of the shows on the Pizza Underground tour (those unlisted have not yet been announced to the public):
Brooklyn @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar - FreePhiladelphia @ PhilaMOCA - $15Austin @ Breakpoint on The Boardwalk - Free, but sold outSan Francisco @ Neck of The Woods - $10 - $12West Hollywood @ Whisky A Go Go - $20San Diego @ U-31 - Not yet revealedTijuana @ Moustache - Not yet revealedTucson @ 191 Warehouse - Not yet revealedEl Paso @ The Lowbrow Palace - Not yet revealedDallas @ Club Dada - $13 - $15Austin @ SXSW - Not yet revealedNew Orleans @ Hi-Ho Lounge - $15Mobile @ Alabama Music Box - $10Atlanta @ Mammal Gallery - $10Raleigh @ Kings - $13 adv, $15 doorWashington, DC @ Black Cat - $15Brooklyn @ Baby's All Right w/ Total Slacker - Not yet revealed
You'll notice we left out the New Brunswick @ Outworld venue. That is because there is no evidence that this establishment actually exists. We've tried Google. We've tried asking Jersey residents. We don't know what else to try. Still, we've included New Brunswick in our itinerary, just in case any of you have better luck in unlocking this mystery.
At this point, the ticket price amounts to $121 - $127. Calculating the average price per ticket ($11 - $11.50), we can estimate a total range of $187 - $196. Let's go with $196, to be safe.
So now it's time to discuss transportation. The first basic question mark concerns the long stretch between the first Austin show and the San Francisco show, otherwise known as February. Will you return home (to wherever that may be — we're going to assume Brooklyn) for the month of February, or keep course on the open road, living rogue as pizza surges through your blood?
In order to fund this trip, you might want to have a steady paying job, which will entail (most likely) you to actually do it. This means February should probably be set aside for actual life routines. As such, you'll probably want to stick to your personal automobile or public transport for the Northeast shows, isolate the Breakpoint on the Boardwalk concert with a roundtrip flight to and fro' Austin, and then hit the road (or fly out to Cali) for your trip.
If you're going to isolate Austin... You'll probably want to fly out from JFK, leaving on Jan 30, staying in a local hotel (for which you'll find pricing below) and flying back home on Feb 1. Right now, this will run you approximately $238. You can check a list of flight options here. Once March hits, you can proceed with your plan by either-Flying to San Francisco and traveling on land from there. Presently, a flight to San Francisco will run you about $139 ($124, if you're willing to fly into San Jose). Peruse at your leisure.-Driving to San Francisco via RV or car, and continuing on your journey in said vehicle. (The respective sections below will clue you into the fiscal plans for either method.)
But you might want to skip Austin altogether.We hate to say it, but it could be worth it. First off, the show is presently sold out (although there are always ways...). But its isolated location and date could pose more of an inconvenience than anything else. Plus, you will indubitably return to the Austin area later on in your trip for the SXSW shows. Bear that in mind!
Or... you can do the whole thing in one fell swoop, month-long wait-around period included.And here's how that would go down:
-Rent an RVAgain, let's assume you live in Brooklyn. Odds are, if you're a fan of the Pizza Underground, you do. As such, getting to this Williamsburg venue won't be a hastle. But you will have to rent some transport for the following shows. You can go the old fashioned way, but considering the six full days of driving that you're about to embark upon, you might want to kick up the luxury just a bit: rent an RV.
View Larger Map
The closest Cruise America to Brooklyn would be in Roslyn, on Long Island, running you $89 a night for standard-sized RV, in addition to mileage costs of $0.34 a mile. For a 56-day trip that takes you a total of 7,606 miles, that will amount to $7,570. Then, of course, there's gas. Your RV is estimated to burn a gallon of fuel every eight miles. Gas prices vary substantially throughout our great nation, but we've factored the average per gallon cost for each of the locations you'll be visiting to be $3.22. Some quick math will lead you to a grand gas total of $3,061. Combine this with your $7,570 and you've got a grand transportation total of $10,631.
That's a pretty penny, but luckily you're not alone: the RV, complete with bedroom and kitchen, comfortably sleeps five. If you can rally a full team for this trip, it'll leave everyone only spending $2,126 on this leg of the journey. Of course, this is on top of tickets (which would bring it to $2,322) and food.
If you're going to isolate or eradicate Austin...If you are planning to eradicate the first Austin show from your itinerary, this changes things... for the better! First off, your stay in the residential vehicle will be substantially shorter, since you're cutting out an entire month in the process. (If we're being logical, you won't need the RV for the first three shows if you're not going to continue on straight from Jersey. Just take a car to Philly and New Brunswick.) A 20-day stay in the RV will run you $1,780, plus a mileage bill of $2,344 for the 6,897 miles you'll be driving. Tack on gas expenses of $2,776 and you've got $5,120.
View Larger Map
FoodNaturally, you're going to want to keep in step with the theme of your trip and only eat pizza. Since you're starting your trip in Brooklyn, we assume you'll want to stock up on your entire pizza banquet there, seeing as how the locations to which you plan on traveling will supply you with far inferior examples of what you know to be a delicacy. There are some problems with the plan:-One pizza pie, in Brooklyn, will run you an average of $15. Estimate that each person will consume one pie of pizza per day. That's 56 pies of pizza per person (realistically, you won't be able to fit all your pizza in the RV fridge, but we'll get back to that), amounting to $840 for your entire diet budget. But...-You'll need a second, third, and maybe fourth fridge. You can recycle the pizza boxes and wrap each pie in tin foil to make more space in the RV fridge, which should be stocked to the brim, but you still won't have nearly enough room for 56+ pizza pies. We know, the thought of succumbing to non-New York pizza is nightmarish, but we have a mission here.Still, you will want to limit your intake of pizza from the otherlands. We figure that, if you're ambitious, you can stuff 20 pizza pies into one of these RV fridges. That'll keep...i) one of you fed for 20 daysii) two of you fed for 10 daysiii) three of you fed for six days and the next morning's breakfastiv) four of you fed for five daysv) all five of you fed for four days
Which means, of course, that you'll eventually have to stop and get more pizza. But where will you be?i) By the 20th day, you'll be... Non-Austin: Back home. Perfect plan... for you. Your friends are starving, though.Austin: In limbo, killing time between Austin and San Francisco. Restock anywhere but New Mexico (their pizza is so bad, the locals are known to throw it on roofs!), and then again in 20 days, when you'll be somewhere in Southern California (where the price is also about $15 a pie). ii) By the 10th day, you'll be...Non-Austin: Dallas. Average price = $9. That'll last you 'til home.Austin: Limbo. Restock a few times before hitting California, then again in San Francisco ($15), Austin ($12), then you're home.iii) By the sixth day, you'll be...Non-Austin: Tijuana (your guess is as good as mine). After that, Austin ($12), then Raleigh ($10), then home.Austin: Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo... San Fran ($15), Tucson ($10), Austin ($12), Washington D.C. ($15), home.iv) By the fifth day, you'll be...Non-Austin: San Diego ($15), Dallas ($12), Atlanta ($12), home.Austin: Limbo x 7. Then San Fran ($15), Tucson ($10), Austin ($12), Raleigh ($10), home.v) By the fourth day, you'll be...Non-Austin: West Hollywood ($15), Tucson ($10), Austin ($12), Mobile ($10), Brooklyn for one last show (just grab a buffalo chicken slices at Anna Maria's on Bedford), home.
-Drive your own car and stay in cheap hotelsOne last time, let's assume you live in Brooklyn. If you don't, you can come stay with me the first night. (Just don't be loud, Matt has to get up early.) After that, however, you'll need to find a place to stay in each of the cities you visit. But let's back up just a second.
Considering the fact that the hotel plan would be highly unfeasible in the Austin-included route, we'll just assume that you're starting with San Fransisco for this foray.
Right off the bat, you've got that pesky RV rental fee taken off your lap. There's a good chance, too, that you've got better gas mileage in your standard sedan than you would in those fuel guzzlers — let's estimate 30 miles to the gallon.
That's $740 so far, which you can split with whatever passengers you're able to accumulate. And here's where the hotel prices come in:
San Francisco: Redwood Inn - $89/nightWest Hollywood: Comfort Inn - $89/nightSan Diego: Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel - $64/nightTijuana: Motel 6 San Ysidro - $42/nightTucson: University Inn - $53/nightEl Paso: Ibis Juarez Consulado - $35/nightDallas: Days Inn - $33/nightAustin: Rodeway Inn - $59/night x 3 (three night event)New Orleans: Sun Suites - $39/nightMobile: Family Inns of America - $30/nightAtlanta: Masters Inn - $29/nightRaleigh: Econo Lodge Inn &amp; Suites - $40/nightWashington D.C.: Knights Inn - $42
All together, that's $729. Add that to $740 (split between however many people with which you're traveling) and you've got your transporation total. But now we're back on food.
FoodWithout a fridge, you'll be needing to make daily pizza stops:
San Francisco: $15 a pieWest Hollywood: $15 a pieSan Diego: $15 a pieTijuana: ?Tucson: $10 a pieEl Paso: $12 a pieDallas: $12 a pieAustin: $12 a pieNew Orleans: $13 a pieMobile: $10 a pieAtlanta: $12 a pieRaleigh: $10 a pieWashington D.C.: $15 a pie
So we've covered almost all bases. The only option unaccounted for is the fly-to-San-Francisco-and-travel-on-land-from-there option. Since you're ending up in Brooklyn, you'll probably need to finagle one of those deals where you drive somebody's car across country for them. There are people who pay you to do that. Check Craigslist. Be careful, though.
SO THAT'S IT! Now you have all the information necessary to follow Macaulay Culkin's pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute band across the continental United States. The dream.
Bon voyage!

Actress Kate Bosworth has shared exclusive photos of her summer nuptials to director Michael Polish in the latest issue of Martha Stewart's wedding magazine. The Hollywood couple tied the knot at the picturesque Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana in August (13), and now romantic snapshots from their special have been published.
A team from Martha Stewart Weddings collaborated with the couple to create a four-day dream wedding weekend, which included everything from the ceremony and reception to planning activities for guests, including hiking, horseback riding and fly fishing.
Recalling her special day miles away from Hollywood, Bosworth explains, "I've been a horse rider my whole life and have always been attracted to those wide-open spaces and the big sky."
On the big day, Bosworth arrived for the mountaintop nuptials in a horse-drawn carriage, before she and Polish exchanged self-written vows before guests including the groom's 15-year-old daughter, Jasper, and actress Lake Bell.
Country singers Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison performed at the reception.
Filmmaker Polish took a moment to capture a rare shot of his new bride with his own camera and the candid shot was picked as the cover photo for the Martha Stewart Weddings magazine.

Season 4 has officially made it impossible to not join Team Kyle. She’s been funny, lacking in drama, and all around helpful to everyone. And although this season has been erring on the side of bore us to tears, Kyle has kept her previous nasty little attitude out of the almost non-existent drama.
Brandi, on the other hand, has been pushing us into the arms of women like Kim and Joyce. Eek. Kyle, we can understand, but Kim, Joyce ... come on Brandi, stop making it easier for us to like them and not you. You’re too damn pretty to be acting this way. And we’re too damn tired of looking at Joyce as she throws her hair around and not hating her for it.
Tonight, Yolanda Foster hosted a dinner party at her house. All the girls attended with the exception of Carlton, who cancelled 45 minutes before the actual party time. Yolanda wasn’t as upset about it as her husband was, and boy, was he. Yolanda made nametags for everyone who attended the party and half of the crew had hearts by their names, half did not. Half the crew was mad about that, half the crew was not.
Brandi was sitting at the opposite end of the table as Joyce, but somehow still found the time to make fun of her and her husband. It’s impossible not to flinch as Joyce screeches baby at her husband, and even more so when he says it’s ok, he’ll be Joyce’s baby if that’s what she wants.
Insert finger down throat.
Lisa thinks Brandi has been drinking too much but finds it funny, not worrisome. Apparently that is Joyce and her baby’s job. The baby tells Joyce she should have an intervention with Brandi, where Joyce smartly replies, she’ll leave that up to the dream team, aka the crew with the hearts on their name tags.
PROJECTIONS
Brandi says she is going to stop drinking, but she sees Joyce at a dinner party and chugs two glasses of white wine, which leads to serious intoxication.
Lisa plans an intervention with Brandi, but gets side tracked when her employees, also known as the ego-inflated SUR servers, have a crisis at the restaurant.
Kyle finds Chica, and we fall further in love with her.

Actress Evangeline Lilly gave up semi-retirement to work on The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug after promising herself she was done with set times, red carpets and Hollywood. The Lost star reveals she was more than happy as a mum and housewife to her boyfriend, production assistant Norman Kali, when director Peter Jackson tracked her down and asked her to be a part of his Lord of the Rings prequel.
She tells WENN, "I had retired into what I thought would be a life of quiet motherhood and writing and didn't really plan on taking any more acting gigs. It had been at least five years since I had taken a meeting or engaged in a new project. I was sort of off the grid.
"I was so far off the grid that when Pete and Phil (Phillipa Boyens) were trying to find me to get a hold of me about this role, they couldn't reach me and somebody on their production team just coincidentally used to work with my partner. So he got a text message one day saying, 'Peter Jackson is trying to reach Evangeline. Do you think she might pick up the phone please?'
"They did eventually get a hold of me and because The Hobbit was my favourite book as a little girl and the elves were my favourite characters in the book, it was a dream to play one. I picked up the phone very quickly. Then they said, 'Your character is not in the book,' and I took great pause as a great fan of Tolkien, who inspired me to write. I kind of gulped and went, 'What?!'
"It didn't take them long to convince me that it was the right thing to do. I agreed to the job under one condition and they agreed to the condition, which was in place for two years. The condition was, 'I will not be involved in a love triangle' - because, if any of you were fans of Lost, I've had it up to here with love triangles.
"But, sure enough, I come back for reshoots in 2012 and they go, 'We've made a few adjustments to the love story'."

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi reunited with the bride he gave away in Las Vegas earlier this year (13) by inviting her to attend his show in Sydney on Sunday night (15Dec13). Australian Branka Delic made headlines around the world when she launched a video campaign urging the Bon Jovi frontman to walk her down the aisle at her nuptials in Sin City in October (13).
The star heard about her plea, and turned up in a limousine to escort her into the Graceland Wedding Chapel.
She was given the chance to reunite with Bon Jovi in Sydney over the weekend (14-15Dec13) after a member of the rocker's management team rang her at the last minute to invite her to the band's gig at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.
Delic and her new husband were asked to attend the soundcheck before the Sunday night (15Dec13) show and meet up with the singer again to tell him about their honeymoon.
She says, "Jon shows up with a big smile on his and I just ran at him and said, 'Give me a hug, big boy'. He started laughing. It really did surpass my wedding day a million times over. This was the whole experience. As a kid I was that person who hung around the back of the Entertainment Centre seeing who would come in and out. Last night I was that person with my VIP pass. I could only dream that one day I would be walking down that hall at a Bon Jovi show, it was amazing'... He kept asking us about our honeymoon but I kept saying, 'I don't want to talk about us I want to talk about you'."
